HEAT-RADIATING ATTACHMENT FOR GAS AND OIL ILLUMINATING-BURNERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

7 Application filed October 5, 1914. Serial No. 865,063.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, J OHN WEIGEL, Sn, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in thecounty of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new anduseful Improvement in Heat- Radiating Attachments for Gas and OilIlluminating-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heat radiating attachments for use on the topsof the chimneys of the burners of gas and oil illuminating lamps, andits object is to provide a pair of horizontal disks that are held spacedapart by means of a circular series of tubes that form auxiliary draftand circulating lines for the air surrounding the top of the chimney ofan illuminating gas or oil burner, such air being heated by the heatarising from the flame or combustion within the chimney and passinglaterally from the device into the space to be heated and therebyretarding the heat from the burner so that it is delivered or divertedinto the lower part of the apartment instead of its being allowed topractically waste by its natural flow or rise into the upper part of thesaid apartment where it cannot be utilized in the economical waycharacteristic of my device and especially in bath-rooms and other smallquarters where the heat from the illuminating-burner can be put to gooduse and aid materially as an auxiliary in the warming thereof inconnection with the regular means of heating same, or in removing thechill from a room when it is not really necessary to prepare a higherheating fire.

The details of structure will be fully hereinafter described andparticularly pointed out in the claims that follow.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of mydevice showing it in position on a fragmentary top portion of the glasschimney of an illuminating burner; Fig. 2, a vertical section taken on asomewhat larger scale than that of Fig. 1 to show the interior of thedevice and the manner of the auxiliary-circulation of air through it forthe heating thereof by the flame or combustion of the fuel in theburner; Fig. 3, a bottom plan view of the device on the same scale asthat of Fig. 2, but omitting the chimney; Fig. 4, a top plan view; Fig.5, a transverse sectional plan taken on the dotted-line m, m, of Fig. 2;Fig. 6, an elevation, partly broken away and in section, showing mydevice and an accompanying auxiliary-support for adapting it to specialuse in connection with the gooseneck and globe of an inverted Welsbachburner; and Fig. 7, a detail elevation of the auxiliary-support seen inFig. 6.

The device contains a circular lower disk or base 1 having an elevatedcenter 2 that has an inwardly-turned rim 3 and a large centralorifice 1. The circular rim 3 engages or rests upon the upper edge ofthe chimney A when the device is in place for use, as best seen in Figs.2 and 6. The device also contains an upper disk or circular cap-plate 5that preferably has a downwardly-turned conical center 6 and issupported in axial alinement above the said disk or base 1 by means oftubes 7 that suitably space the two disks apart and are open at theiropposite ends, as best seen in Fig. 2, for direct perpendicularcirculation of air therethrough. The pendent conical center 6 of theupper disk or cap-plate 5 serves as a baffle to deflect the hot airarising from within the chimney in a circular manner so that it radiatesfrom beneath the said'cap-plate as well shown by the arrows in Fig. 2.Said deflected hot-air from the inside of the chimney also strikes thevertical tubes or flues 7 and serves to heat the latter for the dueheating, in turn, of the air circulating upwardly through the tubes.

Each of the disks 1 and 5 preferably has a downwardly-turned angular rimor flange,

designated 8 and 9, respectively, whereby they are inverted basin ordish shape, as best seen in Figs. 1, 2 and 6, and the air held in someabeyance for the heating thereof by the flame or combustion emanating orarising from within the chimney of the burner below.

In Figs. 1 and 2, I show the device as applied to the ordinary glasslamp-chimney, and in Fig. 6, I show how it can be applied to theinverted form of burner wherein the globe 10 is provided with a curvedpipe or goose-neck 11 and a ring 12, the said gooseneck passing throughan elongated opening 13 in a conical, hollow, auxiliary tube 14 that hasa flange 15 surrounding its base and rests concentrically on the saidburnerring 12, The inwardly-turned rim 3 of the lower disk or base 1 ofmy device rests on the upper edge of the said conical auxiliary tube 14to support my device on said inverted form of burner.

met and space said lower disk or base and the upper disk or cap-plateand thereby provide circulating draft-fines to augment and difl'usecirculation of heat radially around the upper part ofthe burner. H

2. A heat radiating-attachment for direct use on the tops of lamp-burnerchimneys or globes comprising a lower horizontal disk orificed base.
